Joshua Daniel Hartman, 27, and his fiancée Ana Martin, 30, were last seen leaving Oceanside Harbor, California, on May 8, 2008, aboard Hartman’s 32-foot fishing boat The Pelican for a day trip. They left about 7:30 a.m. and were due back by 3:00 p.m. Their final contact came around 3:30 p.m., when Hartman called a friend or his brother to report the fishing was going well and that they’d be docking in about an hour. Another fisherman saw them around noon roughly six miles from shore, and they had sporadic radio contact with a nearby boat during the afternoon.

When the couple didn’t return and their phones went unanswered, family reported them missing at 8:00 p.m. A U.S. Coast Guard search with a helicopter and C-130 followed. On May 9 the Pelican was found abandoned aground on a beach north of Rosarito, Mexico, with the keys in the ignition and no visible signs of struggle or violence. Ocean conditions included one to two-foot swells and a water temperature of 63 degrees. Despite searches by the U.S. Coast Guard and the Mexican Navy, Hartman and Martin were not found and the case remains an open missing persons investigation.

Hartman was described as a White male, brown hair, blue eyes, 5 feet 10 inches tall, 170 pounds. Does anyone have information about their last movements that day or recall seeing The Pelican near shore?
